Different generation married man

Chapter 219 Border Wars

There was indeed a small interlayer at the bottom of the makeup box, with only about five millimeters of space, and a layer of cotton on the surface.

With such a small distance, if Xiaoliuwu's senses were not so sensitive, it would be impossible to see it from the outside with just eyes.

After opening it, there was a small paper bag inside.

"what is this?"

Su Mo reached out to grab it, but Xiao Liu blocked it, "Master Su, wait a minute."

Xiao Wu pulled him back, and snapped, "Really, take everything, what if it's poison?"

Su Mo retracted his hand, "It's not that serious!"

Xiao Wudao rolled his eyelids, "That's not sure."

The two chattered on one side, Xiao Liu silently picked up the paper bag, and slowly opened it, revealing the white powder inside, with a slight fragrance.

Xiao Liu only frowned after smelling it.

Su Mo was still affected by Xiao Wu's words, and became inexplicably nervous, "It can't really be poison, can it?"

Xiao Liu wrapped the edge of the paper bag, "Yes and no."

Su Mo was displeased with Xiao Liu's vague words, "Yes, yes, no, no, what is yes and no?"

Xiao Liu explained, "This is a kind of plant that is only found in Beidi. This plant itself is not poisonous, but its medicinal properties are extremely cold. If ordinary people use it, they will be weak for a while at most. It’s fine every day. But if it’s used by someone who is already weak, it will make things worse, comparable to poison.”

Su Mo remembered Aunt Xiang's words. Mei's body was injured during childbirth, and her health has not been very good. If this thing is used in her illness, it is very likely to aggravate her condition and die.

He ignorantly nodded the bag, "In other words, it is very likely that Mrs. Mei was given this thing while she was ill."

The fact that Mei Xiang hides things in the interlayer in such a subtle way speaks for itself.

Xiao Wu said, "Nine out of ten."

Su Mo asked, "What else is inside?"

Xiao Liu shook his head, "No."

"Is this thing sold in the pharmacy?"

Xiao Liudao, "This thing is not good for the body, naturally it doesn't exist."

Although he found something from the makeup box, Su Mo felt that things were getting more and more complicated, "Since this thing is not sold in the pharmacy, where did Mei Xiang get a maid?"

Xiao Wu reminded him, "Don't forget, there is another Bai family."

"wrong!"

Su Mo thought so too, but he overturned it soon, "You think that even if it is Bai, she is just an ordinary woman, and Beidi is not far away from here, where did she get this thing? How do you know that this thing can kill Mei Shi without causing people to notice something strange?"

"Hearing what you said, there seems to be something strange." Xiao Wu said, he walked around the room, "Unless, besides Mrs. Bai, there are other people involved in this matter."

Xiao Liu said, "And this person should be very familiar with Beidi."

Su Mo said, "How to say?"

Xiao Liu said, "We have been stationed at the border all year round, so we are very familiar with Beidi, but this kind of plant is not very popular in Beidi, and few people know it. It was an accident that I knew it. It is obvious that this kind of plant can be used as medicine. It’s someone who is very familiar with that side.”

Su Mo rubbed the center of his brows with his hands, "But Mei is just an ordinary woman, so who took so much trouble to kill her in this way?"

Xiao Liu shook his head, his expression was rarely serious. Although Su Mo didn't ask, he knew it must be related to that plant powder.

Originally, I thought it was just to investigate Mei's death, but I didn't expect to find out that not only the clues were broken, but also a new mystery was added.

Su Mo sighed, "Forget it, let's leave this matter for now! Xiao Wu and I will go back today. How about you, Xiao Liu?"

Xiao Liu put the makeup box back together, "I'll return the things first, and stay in Yuncheng, staring at this side."

"Okay, be careful."

Xiao Wu reported the incident to Zhuo Yan when he returned home.

Zhuo Yan's eyes were dark, and there were inexplicable emotions in his eyes. After a while, he suddenly laughed again, "I'm afraid this matter will not be easy."

Su Mo shrugged, "I thought so too. It seems that there are still many mysteries hidden in this Mei family."

Knowing that Xiao Liu continued to watch over there, Zhuo Yan warned, "Let Xiao Liu be more vigilant during this time, winter is coming, and the Chen family should also watch."

Xiao Wu looked solemn, "Yes."

Xiao Wu left, but Su Mo could still feel the solemnity lingering in the air, he finally asked curiously, "What happened?"

Looking at the dignified expressions of the two of them just now, it always feels like something bad is about to happen.

Zhuo Yan looked at him, and there seemed to be something sinking and floating in those extremely black eyes.After a long time, he sighed, "Winter is coming, and Beidi is located in a cold area. Every winter they will gather troops and go south to rob food to survive the winter."

Beidi, winter!

Su Mo was startled, and looked at Zhuo Yan, "Is there going to be a war?" Zhuo Yan nodded, and Su Mo raised his heart when he thought of Zhuo Yan's identity, and asked quickly, "What about you?"

With Zhuo Yan's temperament, it is absolutely impossible to mention this matter at this time for no reason, but he mentioned it, so it can only explain one thing, he moved his lips, and his voice was a little dark, "Are you going?"

"Beidi will not be destroyed for a day, and the border will be unstable for a day. As a general, I will naturally go."

Su Mo's lips moved slightly, and he really wanted to say, can you not go?But looking at the man in front of him, he still didn't say these words.

"Don't worry! It's okay, besides, there is still some time, what are you thinking about now?"

Su Mo threw himself into Zhuo Yan's arms and hugged him tightly, Zhuo Yan remained motionless, allowing him to move.After a while, a muffled voice sounded in his arms, "But, isn't your leg still "healed"? Those people let you go at ease?"

He didn't forget that Zhuo Yan's leg healed, the outside world didn't know about it.

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Zhuo Yan's eyes, "It's because my legs are not good that they will definitely let me go!"

What's the meaning!

Su Mo sat up straight suddenly, "You mean, someone wants you..."

Those words were unlucky, Su Mo didn't say any more, but the meaning was clear to both of them, Zhuo Yan nodded slightly, "The Liangwang family will definitely not miss this opportunity, once I have something , the emperor is equivalent to a broken arm, so they will take action soon."

"Then aren't you very dangerous?" Su Mo was worried. The so-called easy to hide with open guns, hard to guard against hidden arrows, who knows if these people will play tricks behind their backs?

"Don't worry, they don't know that my leg is healed, so I can do whatever I can." Zhuo Yan comforted, but apparently Su Mo was not soothed, "But, I'm still very worried."

Zhuo seriously pressed Su Mo into his arms, "Don't be afraid, I will be back."

Sure enough, things went as Zhuo Yan expected.

At the end of October, Beidi invaded, and the border was in a hurry.

Above the court, they broke up again because of this matter.

The emperor's uncle, Guan Shan, has been guarding the border all these years, firmly blocking Beidi from outside the pass, and it is precisely because of this that the first emperor did not kill the Guan family directly.

But this year coincided with the rebellion of the two princes, although it failed in the end.

But after the death of the first emperor, the emperor hurriedly ascended the throne. Although this would not hurt Daqi's vitality, it still had some impact.

Coupled with the loss of Zhuo Yan, a strong general at the border, which affected morale and compromised strength, Beidi found the right time this time, and wanted to take the opportunity to invade the Central Plains.

Beidi's attack is fierce this time, and it is still difficult for Guan Shan to guard the border alone. The imperial court wants to send people to support them, but they are uncertain about the candidates.

In the end, I don't know which minister proposed to let General Zhuo return to the border to serve Daqi.

The emperor refused to allow it, and some ministers objected. After all, although Zhuo Yan was not dead, but his leg was injured, everyone knew that, and what kind of heart did these people feel when he was sent to the battlefield?

But some people thought that although Zhuo Yan had injured his leg, no one knew Beidi better than him, and it might not be a good thing if he rashly called a general to go.

General Zhuo injured his leg, wouldn't it be better if he didn't go to the battlefield?

So the two sides fought again, and finally the Chen family and the queen mother united with some ministers to put pressure on the emperor, but the emperor had no choice but to hold grudges and agreed to Zhuo Yan to go to the border.

One day in October, Zhuo Yan with a sick face took Xiao Liu back to the border in a wheelchair.

The night before the departure, because parting was imminent, the two of them were very excited and tossed and tossed all night. It was not until dawn the next day that Zhuo Yan cleaned him up and carried him back to bed.

Su Mo was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes, but he didn't want to go to sleep. He held Zhuo Yan's sleeve with one hand and didn't say anything, just looked at him like this.

This was the first time since the two got married that they had been separated for such a long time. Not only Su Mo, but even Zhuo Yan was also reluctant to part.

He sat down by the bed, and gently put his hand on Su Mo's face, "Go to sleep, I will be back soon."

"You must protect yourself and come back safely." Su Mo looked up at Zhuo Yan, and stubbornly begged for a guarantee.

Zhuo Yan softened his voice, "Okay, I promise you, go to sleep!"

Although Su Mo was reluctant to let Zhuo Yan leave, he was so tired that he couldn't resist the drowsiness soon, and slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

After falling asleep, Su Mo became less flamboyant, and looked more well-behaved. Zhuo Yan stared at him for a long time, then gently pushed down the quilt, and then left the room.

When Su Mo got up, Zhuo Yan had already left.

After Zhuo Yan left, Su Mo seemed to have lost all energy and was depressed for many days. Xiao Wu knew that he was in a bad mood, and was thinking of finding something for him to distract him.

Turning around, I received a message from the person who was chasing Su Mo, and Su Mo appeared.

Xiao Wu ran into the yard chattering, "Su Mo, there's news! There's news about Su Mo."

"Su Mo!" It's been a long time since I heard this name, and Su Mo almost didn't realize it, "He appeared?"

Xiao Wu entered the room and breathed a sigh of relief, "The news came from the people over there that Su Mo and the other two suddenly appeared and found the Chen family, and now the two have gone with the Chen family."

"Followed the Chen family?" Su Mo was startled, how did the two get together?
